The Useless Miracle Doctor Consort Is Spoiled Rotten by the Prince! Chapter 278 - 278: Behind a Table of Good Dishes

Chapter 278: Behind a Table of Good Dishes

Su Yurou’s eyes were red from the pain, and her eyes were filled with grievance.

“Alright! What’s wrong with this courtyard? It’s the largest one in the Marquis’s Manor. I know it best!”

He had previously sympathized with Liu Shulan and her daughter, but seeing the dinner that Su Yingxue had carefully prepared, Su Dingheng couldn’t help but wonder. If Su Yingxue had malicious intentions, why would she spend this money to maintain appearances?

She could afford to give away the bird’s nest and ginseng, so why wouldn’t she send soone to fix Liu Shulan’s courtyard?

Su Dingheng furrowed his brows tightly. Sensing the unfavorable situation, Liu Shulan quickly leaned against him. Her voice was soft as water when she said, “Marquis, it’s all because 1 failed to discipline Rou’er properly. Eldest Young Miss has never mistreated us. This Qingxin Court is indeed vast and spacious. 1 wanted to make so changes according to my ideas and called Rou’er over to help. That’s when 1 injured my hand…”

After hearing her explanation, Su Dingheng’s expression improved considerably.

Liu Shulan discreetly glanced at Su Yurou, as if warning her to abandon their previous plan. She was not allowed to falsely accuse Su Yingxue in front of Su Dingheng!

Their sche had already been exposed during Su Yingxue’s dinner!

Su Dingheng truly enjoyed his dinner. He had a hearty appetite and finished the ginseng chicken soup. He glanced at the untouched bird’s nest that Liu Shulan and her daughter had, and Liu Shulan quickly offered it to him to please him.

Su Dingheng happily consud it.

After indulging in a satisfying al, Liu Shulan imdiately assisted him with bathing and changing.

Su Yingxue hurried over after completing her tasks, and it was already dark outside.

Seeing her fatigued face, Su Dingheng couldn’t help but console her. “Yingxue, managing the household is no easy task. You’ve worked hard.”

“Father is too kind. It’s just that 1 was quite busy today. I heard that Lady Liu was dissatisfied with the Qingxin Court and made changes herself. That’s too polite of Lady Liu. If there are any changes she desires, she should imdiately inform , and I will take care of them for her.”

Su Yingxue expressed regret in her eyes and even engaged in so self-reflection in front of Su Dingheng regarding her inadequate job performance.

Su Dingheng initially had so suspicions, but her words imdiately dispelled them.

He had wrongly doubted his daughter, who had diligently managed the household. He felt truly sorry for his unwarranted suspicions!

He comforted Su Yingxue and advised her to return to rest early.

Su Yingxue insisted on greeting Liu Shulan before departing. Upon noticing the injury on Liu Shulan’s hand, she rembered to hand her a bottle of ointnt made from Blood Clotting Grass, urging her to make good use of it.

This bottle of ointnt made Su Dingheng’s eyes shine.

Liu Shulan accepted the ointnt and appeared warmly appreciative toward Su Yingxue, nearly bowing to express her gratitude.

However, inwardly, she was filled with concealed resentnt.

As Su Yingxue left Qingxin Court, Zhilan thoughtfully handed her a plate of pastries. “Miss, you haven’t eaten dinner yet. Please have so to fill up.”

Su Yingxue consud two pastries consecutively. She was genuinely hungry, having spent the entire afternoon in the accounting room poring over the account book until it grew dark.

When she reached Su Dingheng, her complexion was wan.

Zhilan noticed that Su Yingxue had finished all the pastries and couldn’t help but feel sorry for her. “Miss, you’ve had it quite tough.”

Su Yingxue playfully flicked her forehead. “Hard work needs to be genuine for people to believe it! Look at the injuries on Liu Shulan and Su Yurou’s hands, those are real. I, your Miss, was just hungry and a bit tired.”

Zhilan burst into laughter. “I didn’t realize how skilled Miss is at acting! During today’s al, 1 saw that the mother and daughter tasted like wax and had to put on smiles while eating with Marquis. After dinner, Second Young Miss’s face turned pale..”
